RED-Z06 2,221 #1 Posted February 16, 2023 I had a wheel fall off yesterday because my spacers dont let me get enough bit on the lugs to really impact them onn so i need to find a taller headed lug bolt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonytoro416 1,034 #2 Posted February 16, 2023 I ended up making my own lug studs. They are 7-16-20 fine thread. I bought hardened all thread and cut in equal lengths threaded into hub and nut on backside. Much easier to mount tires especially if full of ballast. Just used open ended acorn lug nuts on the outside 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,553 #3 Posted February 16, 2023 If you want to order bolts, get 7/16"-20 x 1.25" or 1.5" length. Screw them in after removing the hub set screws which probably needed to be replaced anyways.... You're probably going to want a washer there because otherwise the shoulder on the Bolt damages the inside of the hub. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My spacers are thick enough that the tapered shoulder (should) not contact the hub, they are 2" spacers to clear the 24x12x12 cleated tires off the gas tank. Thr stock bolts dont have a real thick head so when the bolts go into the taper, the socket pulls off the hex 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED-Z06 2,221 #5 Posted February 17, 2023 Not alot of options in 7/16-20 with a longer hex head...i found some i liked but $28 in lugs + $30 freight..no thanks. I tapered a socket and got more aggressive, and used loctite, time will tell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill 633 846 #6 Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Run 7/16-20 UNF fully threaded grade 8 bolts of the proper length into the wheel flange using red loctite and use lug nuts. Edited February 17, 2023 by Wild Bill 633 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
